Astrophoto: The Milky Cow

[/caption]

The Milky Way + cows = The Milky Cow! A great composite of two photographs, both taken the same day by César Cantú of the Chilidog Observatory in Monterrey, Mexico. César says the images were reduced to couple the brightness in the one image with the dark skies showing the Milky Way in the other. Both were taken with a Canon 20Da camera. To see a larger version of this image, see César’s website.
